Cursor Agentandrmcrackan 3ab22a9796 Report the crash log path without the Windows long-path prefix
PreLoggingCrashLog returned its LongPath straight out, so on Windows the crash
dialog named \\?\C:\Users\...\Log202608.log. The prefix is for the Win32 API,
not for a person being asked to find the file and attach it to a bug report.

Return PathWithoutPrefix instead, and use it for the LibationFiles line inside
the record for the same reason. A test now pins that the reported path carries
no prefix and is usable as-is; on Linux the two forms are identical, which is
why local runs could not see this and the Windows CI job could.

While in there: ReplaceInstallFile moved the old file aside and then wrote the
new one, so a copy that failed after the move left nothing at all where a file
used to be. Put the old one back before reporting the failure.

Cursor Agentandrmcrackan 47980e1f86 Check the rollback's own work, and offer a restart when it went well
The rollback restored files, announced 'Libation restored your previous install
files', and deleted the pending marker without ever reading back what it had
written. It also could not tell the difference between an overlay that had not
started, where putting the backup back returns the install to one version, and
an overlay that got partway, where the backup covers a dozen names out of the
few hundred in the folder and cannot.

Grade the outcome instead. Verify each restored file against its backup, and
use the manifest files that did match the upgrade package as the signal that
the overlay had begun. Report which files could not be restored, and keep
restoring the rest rather than abandoning them at the first failure.

Libation has to close either way, since the files underneath it just changed,
so the wording and the offer now follow the grade: back on the previous version
asks to restart, a mixed install asks but says a fresh install would be better,
and a restore that could not finish only offers OK. A relaunched process never
offers again, so a pending marker we failed to delete cannot become a loop.

Cursor Agentandrmcrackan bfaab98eff Fit a longer startup message in the crash dialog
The dialog was pinned to 450px tall with the description in an Auto row, which
was fine for the two-line generic text but not for a message that names the
file, the version it has, the version it needs and the recovery steps: the
description pushed the exception box, the report instructions and the OK button
out of the window.

Cap and scroll the description, give the window room to grow, and top-align the
icon so it stops overlapping the text.

The Classic equivalent, MessageBoxLib.ShowAdminAlert, may need the same and
cannot be checked here.

Cursor Agentandrmcrackan c4b4fa6971 Recognise any install-folder assembly failure, and let the rollback finish
Three separate reasons the recovery added for #1878 could not help the install
in issue #2001:

Classification was by assembly name, covering only EntityFrameworkCore,
Microsoft.Data.Sqlite and LibationUiBase, so a Serilog bind failure reached
neither the emergency rollback nor an actionable message. Match on the assembly
reference instead and compare the requested version against the file on disk,
so the dialog can say which file is stale and what version it should be. A
stale file and an absent one report identically through the loader, which is
why the version has to be read to tell them apart.

RestoreFromBackup wrote over assemblies this process had already loaded and
mapped. That segfaulted the process on Linux and Windows denies the write, so
the rollback never completed either way. Move the loaded file aside first and
sweep the leavings on a later startup.

Serilog.dll and three more assemblies Libation cannot start without were not in
the upgrade manifest, so an overlay could lose one and still verify clean.

Cursor Agentandrmcrackan 1729f84dbb Log startup recovery without Serilog so a broken install cannot silence it
Libation's releases are ReadyToRun, so a Serilog reference resolves lazily
when the line holding it runs. An install folder whose Serilog.dll is missing
or older than the build therefore threw inside the very catch blocks that were
meant to report the problem, which destroyed the original exception and aborted
the in-app upgrade recovery before it could roll anything back.

Add StartupLog: a Serilog-free, never-throwing buffer for the window before
ConfigureLogging runs, replayed into Serilog once logging exists. Move the
pre-logging call sites onto it, including the crash-message and crash-dialog
paths that run precisely when the install is broken.

Those messages were silent before this change: Serilog.Log.Logger is still
Serilog's silent logger until App.RunMigrations. They now reach the log file.
